I'm at a point in my collecting that i'm not really adding to my collections and I need to thin out what I have. And truth be told, I need cash. I haven't sold anything with the one exception of a card that i had a cash offer on after i posted a box break here. I have bought on ebay but never sold on there, and before diving in to listing my goods, i'd like to hear some of the pros and cons of selling on there or listing things in the marketplace here.

The bulk of what i would like to put up for sale isn't the common jersy or auto card but rather some mid to higher "valued" items from the late 90's to mid 00's. As an example, a 99/00 Gretzky Greats of the Game auto/jersey /40. That is one of my higher valued pieces that i would be will ing to part with.

So, is there enough of a market on this board to test the sales waters or should i sell on ebay? Yes ebay gets more traffic, but who gets a better, more fair price?

While i have this in the hockey board, my collection is mostly hockey and baseball, with some football and very little basketball. Hockey and baseaball would be the prominent items up for sale.

I appreciate any comments and advise.
